"Velvet Aura" presents itself with a curved structuring, which can be seen in light shades of cream and dark shades of gray and violett. The onyx processed in the STEINBILD "Velvet Aura" was formed about 2 million years ago, from the time when the Mediterranean Sea dried up, causing the sea level to fall.
History of origins
Each STEINBILD tells the probably oldest story in the world - our earth history
![worldmap](/bundles/steinbildtheme/img/worldmap/steinbild-collection_weltkarte.png)
At the time of the formation of this natural stone, the Mediterranean Sea dried up and the South Pole froze over. This caused the sea level to drop by 50 m.
Mineralogy
Due to the ice age, there were few plants that had survived. The cold climate, on the other hand, created new species such as ash, beech and fir, which today make up our forests. At that time the first real elephants settled. The first humans (Homo habilis) appeared at the same time.
